Rochester - Genesee Regional Transportation Authority

Compliance with Executive Order 111 Requirements to Purchase Power from Renewable Energy Sources

Executive Order 111, which was issued in June 2001, requires all State agencies and certain public authorities to purchase a certain portion of their electricity from renewable sources (at least 10 percent by 2005 and 20 percent by 2010). We found that the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (Authority) is not in compliance with the Order. It has not met the 10 percent requirement and has not addressed how to meet the 20 percent target. We recommended that the Authority take certain steps to comply with the Executive Order.
